General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Israeli politician Shelly Tal Meron has claimed Israel does not target civilians and that accusations it is committing genocide at the Liberal Democrat party conference make her feel “uncomfortable”.

The third largest party in the British parliament has become increasingly strident in its approach to the genocide in Gaza.

Just days ago party leader Ed Davey accused Israel of committing genocide for the first time. He boycotted the royal banquet for Wednesday night in honour of visiting US President Donald Trump, in protest over his support for Israel's military operations in Gaza.

The tens of thousands of dead kids at your government hands are making us feel uncomfortable. So you'll excuse us if we dont give a tiny rats ass about how the totally accurate description of what your government is doing makes you feel.

I know right?! Poor sausage! I bet all the innocents who have lost limbs, loved ones and everything they owned probably also feel a bit "uncomfortable". Isn't it the hard right who love saying 'fuck your feelings'?
